After the first day of the four-day match between Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire County Championship Division One saw both sides succumbing in their first innings, the second day was all about Nottinghamshire, as the batsmen batted exuberantly to amass a mammoth total of 355 runs for the loss seven wickets at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on April 06, 2012.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Neil-Edwards-c2092, who had come to open the innings from their side batted beautifully as they pounded the bowlers all around the park without a hint of remorse.
The batsmen were just too good for the bowling side as the fielders helplessly watched the batsmen smacking the bowlers with zeal.
With an opening stand of 94 runs on the second day, Nottinghamshire had achieved complete superiority in the match and were now going for the kill in order to take a mammoth lead against their rivals.
Finally Hales, after batting for 46 runs, lost his wicket which gave a chance to the next batsman in line, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Lumb-c1981, to come in the middle.
Nottinghamshire clearly looked a different side, who had come out in the second innings with a plan to bat maximum runs on the board, to actually leave Worcestershire in ruins.
With 103 runs on the board, Edwards after playing an astonishing innings of 48 runs found his way back to the pavilion, leaving Lumb in charge.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Taylor-c66127, however, failed to leave his fans impressed as he could muster only 13 runs before losing his wicket at a time when his side was standing on a tally of 137 runs.
The demise of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Riki-Wessels-c2319 on the crease and batsman had his own destructive plans for Worcestershire as he belted another hard-hitting partnership with Lumb.
The latter after hammering an innings of 40 runs was dismissed with his team on a solid total of 183 runs.
Nottinghamshire knew that with every run they were further increasing their lead on their rivals, adding more pressure on Worcestershire players.
Wessels, at stumps remained unbeaten on 104 runs as his side ended the day with a massive tally of 355 runs on the board for the loss of seven wickets, securing a solid lead against Worcestershire
